I love the way Jesus never used the Name of his father, as in the text you cited and all others.

by Kosonen inis it okey to express your love for jesus as a jehovah's witness?.
it should be, even though it would lift some eyebrows in the congregation.
let's see what jesus said:.

it took 10 days from Jesus' ascension to Pentecost to get confirmation that message to & from heaven had been received (the ransom value).
It took wt writer ~30+ years to discover and correct/ reverse their bloober on the superior authorities.

are you saying that now JWs only study the WT magazines (digital ones) while at the kingdom hall, and that none obtain paper copies
DJW. no, I am talking about the quick revisions that happened in the 50s and 60s, we bound our own volumes to retain the unabridged juicy stuff. Today some seem to still have wt paper copies but also being on zoom. Moscow's pravda or twitter et all are not the only variable truths available, it is alive and well in the brave wt " New World Society."

ThomasMore, by "they are redacting former writing as fast as they can" what exactly do you mean DJW,
Even if you have bound volumes, they will not read as the wts that were "studied" verbatim at the KH. In one instant on "porneia", it had all changed even before the foreign language copies were distributed.

What are the benefits of doubts?
by psyco inwhat are the benefits of having created the human mind being able to have doubts inside (or regarding) the true religion (jude 22)?.
because if you have doubts, you are not sure, so it is difficult to believe and trust.
and if it is difficult to believe and trust, it is even more difficult to have faith since it is the "assured" expectation of what is hoped for (hebrews 11:1).

For example, 'I doubt I can take that hairpin bend at 100 miles an hour'. jjj
right, many aeroplanes stall at that speed in a turn. and spin in.

Sea Breeze21 minutes agoI doubt there is any real benefit.do not be too sure. If you doubt that the scriptures are more than just that, the best that men could write at the time, you will be protected from the inevatible realisation, or lack of it, that your confidence was misplaced.
I f you doubt, you will act with enough restrain and have taken a position to fall back on at all times.
without a doubt, doubting will double your decisions to be a-droit, right, one day.

doubt, in french "doute". interesting when I looked up "doubt" in Einstein's mother tongue. " Zweifel" from
"Zwei" =, 2, two. , like in second opinion. scepticism. It carries the thought that the present idea is just not the right one, but there is a better one available. then there is
"Verzweifeln" verb, to give up, to be distressed about the current situation, troubled in doubt, with a certainty that the course is wrong beyond redress. so,
applying this to the wt package of truthfacts , all based on the talking snake saga, You can give the benefit of a doubt to some of the kind souls in the association of br/ sisters, but you can verzweifeln, totally give up in desperation as to the current teachings. let them/ prod them to wake up.

Are Satan and demons able to create life?
by psyco inaaron's rod became a big snake (exodus 7:8-10).. when something not alive, like dust, becomes alive, like a living person (genesis 7:2): is this not called "creation"?
so, when pharaoh's wise men, sorcerers, and magic-practicing priests of egypt also did the same (exodus 7:11, 12): how could we called this instead?
i read about some jws explaining it as a magic illusion.

what evolutionary advantage is in the delayed itch of the mosquito bite ? when I wrestled with wt dogma, I thought only a fiendish demonic mind would create such aberration, without even thinking about malaria or other maladies.

History repeated: pre-1975 trend of selling homes to ‘downsize’
by LongHairGal ini saw this thread on reddit.
i think the reason for this is that the 1975 fiasco is never mentioned in the jw religion.
nobody mentioned it to me when i came in the years after.. the problem with this is that all the sad stories were never told (or hushed up) of people who sold off homes, etc.

Sorry, but what? No one genuinely believes any of that!
Claiming the WTS have utter and complete control over everyone's life choices is demonstrably false, and just plays into their hands. This is NOT the message that we want to be telling people.Simon, I did not say that wt has complete control. just saying the wt message is: only if you obey us will you live, disobey us, you will die. we (wt) say "jump": you jump, then ask how high?, or "which cliff?".
wt wants its members to obey any patently unreasonable demands, with the proviso that only obedience wiil keep you out of gehenna, only unquestioning obedience will get you into everlasting life. it is a life an death issue the way wt defines it.
talking about criminal coercion cases. : life and death for Amanda Todd too:

If someone tells you to jump off a cliff and you do don't blame them for your injuries! FUJW:
The person telling you to jump of the cliff is 99.99% responsible for your injuries, because/ when
that person has threatened you with eternal death if you disobey, has cited unfailing proof that disobedience ones will die, as they did in bible stories, if that person has indoctrinated you since childhood that during your jump the laws of nature will be suspended, miraculously, you will levitate like angels, and you will survive, whereas all non jumpers will be killed.
Those that by deception, coerce others into injury are criminals and have , at least "in the world", been charged and convicted.
wt still teaches, that obedience to "seemingly" unreasonable wt orders (like jumping of cliffs would be) is the only way to avoid eternal death.
